The paper “Estimates for the dimension of attractors of a regularized Euler system with dissipation on a sphere“, co-authored by Sergey Zelik, Alexei Illyin (Keldysh Institute, Moscow), and Anna Kostianko (Imperial College London), has been published in Matematischeskie Zametki. The paper proves the existence of a global attractor of a regularized Euler–Bardina system with dissipation […]

Paul Bergold has been appointed a Postdoctoral Fellow on the project “Life on the Edge: quantum thermodynamics, quantum biology and the arrow of time“, with immediate effect, supported by the Templeton Foundation. Paul is working with Cesare Tronci on a sub-theme called “bridging the quantum-classical divide“. A link to the Templeton funding announcement is here. […]

The paper “Open quantum dynamics for plant motions“, authored by Dorje Brody, has been published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports.The paper makes the observation that equations governing the dynamics of open quantum systems are applicable in biology. As examples of dynamics in biology, motions of plants — specifically, heliotropism and gravitropism — are modelled, […]

The project “Stochastic continuation for space trajectory design in uncertain environments“, joint between Nicola Baresi at the Surrey Space Centre and Dave Lloyd, has been funded, along with co-funding from the European Space Agency. The project supports a PhD student to start in October 2022. The project aims at implementing and developing novel stochastic continuation […]
